The Bell curve is the distribution with the maximum information entropy. It surely relates to it being the curve that all others regress to.

Slovenia is 165km wide and 265km long so with 50lit gas tank your are out of the country. It's only the same day back and forth that is limited by this measure. It probably has nothing to do with energy saving or renewable push.

For me the greatest boost to advance European foreign language fluency was to learn for one year the Japanese. Because it dwarfs in complexity any Latin language, I was able to:

1) locate and focus at the difficult parts of each (eg English phrasal verbs, French accent, German grammar)

2) realise the huge similarity between euro languages and leverage it

3) increase my confidence in deeper learning

I would like a pragmatic implementation of AgeVer as Arch Linux always adopts: add an AgeCategory value next to username/passwd, saved in etc/shadow, that can be changed any time with sudo. Then I would give the box to my kids without fear. The problem how it can be implemented in a non-rooted mobile device.

I'm not against working until a debilitating disease shows up, although I have a convenient job for older age (doctor). It would be better if a couple of things are met: advancing carrier, mostly from basic profession to managing people and projects, and capability to move somewhere else, depending of life stage and following the kids. Then working to the end is viable.

The whole Western power against a deserted country and the USA will send young walking soldiers. AI, robots/drones, space tech, international hegemony, all inferior to a guy with a long gun.

Not the parent but from a weight training perspective it would mean maximum glute muscle activation.

This is a live test that the world is not ready to wean from fossil fuels.

Or it will accelerate the switch to evs.

It's not mystery. Any US military engagement has multiple benefits:

1) direct increase and profit for weapon companies, military contractors and oil people

2) show the world who the boss is and everyone should stay under the wing

3) propagate fear globally and keep people aligned

And this time another one is added

4) shorting and gambling of active politicians having insider knowledge

That governments globally start to take serious actions against an entertainment form means that multiple academic and intellectual sources warned about a dangerous fall of public literacy, intelligence and thinking. We don't need to possess classical knowledge like any university student had in the 60's but the stupidness of the last decade is unacceptable. I think the situation crossed the line in the 10's but it took a full 10 years for governments to get in the middle, probably also waiting for the controls of parenting, which failed miserably.
